Call It What It Really Is
Rudy Giuliani, a few days ago:
That would be, in more honest terms, a coup, or treason. Either would apply. Funny how so many people that are nearly having strokes every day of the year over Hillary e-mails, not one of which they can cite, don't seem to care about this- the FBI working in concert with a foreign enemy to install a would be dictator who is under their thumb, an will sell the country out in a second.
This is so preposterous that nobody would ever think of trying to sell a movie script based on it. But it's real, and hardly anyone thinks it isn't okay to run the country this way.
"there’s a revolution going on inside the FBI and it’s now at a boiling point.”

In fact, I would go back a little further in history, to the Presidency of William Howard Taft. Taft had essentially no interest in being President, and left the job of governing to underlings who used their power to institute a regime of government based solely on the interests of the rich. I do not believe the Republican party (and the country) has ever recovered from this malfeasance on Taft's part. It developed a taste among Republicans for this sort of rule, which can be seen in the very similar attitude of Harding, and the Presidency of the terminally indifferent Coolidge, when one of the most cynical, greed-maddened capitalists of all time, Andrew Mellon, was allowed to personally run the economy. And run it he did-right into a depression.
Or even a TV series. Both "Blindspot" and "Quantico" come close, but at least both of those have the good guys winning. Not so in reality, not so far.
